Fraction Operations Explained
Understanding how fractions work makes calculations easier. Here are the four fundamental operations with simple rules to remember.
Adding Fractions
To add fractions, find a common denominator, convert each fraction, then add the numerators. Simplify if possible.
Subtracting Fractions
Same as addition — find a common denominator first, then subtract the numerators. Watch out for negative results.
Multiplying Fractions
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. No common denominator needed — it’s the simplest operation.
Dividing Fractions
Flip the second fraction (take its reciprocal) and then multiply. Remember: dividing by a fraction multiplies by its inverse.
Mixed Numbers
Mixed numbers combine a whole number with a fraction. Convert to an improper fraction first: multiply the whole by the denominator and add the numerator.
Simplifying Results
Divide the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) to get the fraction in its simplest form.
